Alphabet, Berkshire Hathaway, Boeing, Microchip Technology, and Parker-Hannifin are the five Space stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Space stocks are the publicly traded shares of companies whose core businesses involve space‐related activities—ranging from satellite manufacturing and launch services to space tourism and in-orbit resource extraction. By buying these equities, investors gain exposure to the rapidly growing commercial space economy, which includes satellite communications, Earth observation, and emerging ventures like asteroid mining. While the sector promises high growth tied to technological advances and government contracts, it also carries elevated risks from regulatory hurdles, long development cycles, and substantial capital requirements. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Space stocks within the last several days.
